This is a vintage 8 string bowlback mandolin by Suzuki company that I picked up at auction in Kyoto, Japan last year.  It probably dates to the the late 1960's and is in remarkable condition.  It has a spuce top and a 27 ribs in its bowl shaped bottom with absolutely no cracks, nicks or scratches.  You can, however see that someone enjoyed playing it by the wear in the rosewood pickguard (see picture 12). Otherwise it is in perfect condition as is the included hardwood case with padded red flease lining.  The neck and various trim is of brazilian rosewood. 

Complete with strings, ready to play, it measures  25" long by 8 1/2" wide and 6" deep (63 x 22 x 15 cm).

You'll love it, I guarantee it.........If you purchase this item and are not completely delighted with it, you may return it for a no questions asked refund within 14 days  of receipt.
